Congratulations on your weight loss! Major weight loss is a huge accomplishment that is not so easy for many to achieve. Even after all the effort and commitment, excess, saggy skin remains, not allowing you to obtain your desired shape. Exercise may not be enough to lift and tighten excess skin after weight loss.Â
Fortunately, cosmetic surgeries like thigh lifts and butt lifts can transform your lower body so you can feel more comfortable in your own skin after major weight loss.Â
What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift or thighplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes and contours the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. There are different types of thigh lifts you can choose from. Dr. Scott Greenberg can discuss the thigh lifts most suitable for your body and your needs after weight loss.Â
Each thigh lift procedure involves making incisions, which means you will be left with some scarring after surgery. However, a good surgeon knows how and where to make incisions on the skin, so your scars are not as noticeable. The amount of incisions and the areas where you will get incisions depends on the type of thigh lift procedure you will get.
The most popular thigh lift is a medial thigh lift, which involves removing excess skin and fat from your inner thighs.Â
What is a Butt Lift?
Like thigh lifts, butt lifts remove the excess skin and fat from the buttocks. Although butt lifts do not enhance or volumize your buttocks, they can make a visible difference as they lift, tighten, and smooth the skin on your butt.Â
What Can I Expect During Thigh & Butt Lift Procedures?
During a thigh lift and butt lift procedure, patients will be put under general anesthesia, which means they’ll be unconscious and won’t feel a thing. After the procedure, Dr. Scott Greenberg will place dressings on the incisions to reduce swelling.
Am I a Candidate for a Thigh or Butt Lift?
If you are ready to remove the excess loose skin caused by massive weight loss and have realistic body goals, you may be a candidate for thigh or butt lift surgery. People often combine thigh and butt lifts with tummy tucks, which remove excess sagging skin and fat from your stomach. Pairing a thigh and butt lift with a tummy tuck can give you the well-proportioned body you deserve and have worked hard for.
